If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostI think there is a good argument to be made that we actually would be.
If we want to heal as a nation we need some unity not exclusivity. The Whitney Houston that I posted was soon after 9 11 as it was just a little hope. On that day we were slightly better off than we were if it were missing.

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostI disagree. I dont think playing the national anthem will do anything to heal what is wrong with our country"Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Originally posted by Bene Futuis View PostThe last baseball game I attended included a man screaming at some kids to take their hats off during the national anthem, in what was a very impressive display of unity and inclusion.

Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostI submit that Colin Kaepernick did more to heal what is wrong with our country than Whitney Houston did there. Cheap unity is not going to help us.

Originally posted by Gregg View PostI do not think we need to choose one over the other. Maybe they were both good in their own right? The days following 9 11 were not cheap unity. That unity came at a very high cost.---------------------------------------------

Today that enemy is each other.
We are in a literal fight for the soul of America, what will define it and who will govern it.
There will be little to NO compromise. The lines are drawn and there will be a winner and a loser.
In the end, America will look very different.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
